Schedule a brief 10-minute call with a Care Coordinator ask questions, learn about treatment, and start the scheduling process.
Step 3
Visit your specialist, discuss moving forward with UFE
At your consultation, your doctor will assess your medical history, discuss relevant treatment options and answer questions about uterine fibroid embolization and other treatments.
- If you are not a candidate for uterine fibroid embolization, your provider will discuss other treatment options.
Step 4
Take care of your fibroids
Uterine fibroid embolization is a simple, outpatient procedure that takes about 90-minutes in the doctor’s office.
A tiny tube called a catheter is advanced from either the artery in your wrist or groin to the arteries feeding the fibroids.
The arteries supplying the fibroids are blocked by tiny beads, the catheter is then removed from the body, and a band-aid is applied.
1-2 hours after the procedure, you go home. Over the next 2-4 weeks, the fibroids will significantly shrink in size. Maximum symptom relief is achieved at 3 months.
